I know that you know that I know: Enabling Embodied Cognition Capabilities in Collaborative Robotic Systems
Nicola Bezzo
Associate Professor, University of Virginia
is speaking on March 13, 2026.
Quantum computing holds enormous promise, but it comes with a major challenge: keeping quantum systems cold enough to function.
Daryoosh Vashaee, professor of electrical and computer engineering at NC State, is approaching that problem from a new angle. Instead of cooling an entire refrigerator-sized system, his team is targeting the quantum devices themselves.
Their work in quantum refrigeration could help remove one of the biggest barriers to scaling quantum technologies. By rethinking how we manage heat at the device level, they are opening new possibilities for more practical and efficient quantum systems.

Congratulations to Professor of the Practice John Gajda on his appointment to the North Carolina Utilities Commission.
Governor Stein selected Professor Gajda to help oversee the rates and services of public utilities across the state. With 36 years of experience in the energy sector and a deep commitment to our power systems students, he is uniquely qualified to ensure North Carolina has reliable and affordable energy.
We are proud to have ECE faculty serving the people of our state.

See Yourself Here
NC State’s Centennial Campus is full of landmarks, beautiful outdoor spaces, cutting edge research, state-of-the-art facilities and ways to find — and celebrate with — your community.
Stay updated on ECE’s biggest moments all year long.
As one of only two institutions to be home to two concurrent NSF Engineering Research Centers, one of three NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research Initiatives, the home of the Department of Energy’s PowerAmerica Institute, leads the only North America IBM Quantum Hub, and home to one of The Microelectronics Commons' Hubs, we are ranked among the top academic units engaged in scientific research in the United States.
